2010 USA Retail Set

Accidentally posted this in the TTM forum earlier.

I tried using the search and google and ebay to figure out the answer but I can't find anything 100%, what exactly comes in these sets, is it just the base set? Are these rare/worth the buy? Is it best to keep them factory sealed, or bust them and hold and keep the cards loose?

Just base cards...no Autos or GU.

Saw 4 at Target but passed.

rendon will sell for $5-8 by itself, and you could probably make money by selling other players in lots (but you'd have to buy at least 10 sets, probably)

so, it's kind of boring, but if you do it right you can profit.

For some reason, the last sealed retail set that sold on ebay went for $15 + s/h. I wouldn't bank on that being the norm, though. I would think that if nothing changes on the 2011 Bowman Checklist that the Rendon should sell very well come draft day since, if I recall correctly, he only has a relic in Bowman. I'm sure the relics will sell a little better but the fact that he will only have 2 cards should drive prices up on the box set cards. If you want to take the risk, I would go with the purchase 10+ sets route. Lot up all of the other guys and move them to recoup the majority of your investment and then piece out the Rendon's after the hype.

Disclaimer: I am not doing this but it sounds like a good plan.

Come draft day these sets will sell very well. Im sitting on 25 boxes minus 20 Rendons that I already sold to recoup half my investment. I agree that you need to purchase at least a minimum of 10 to entice any sort of buyer. Guys like Cole, Gray, Starling and so on will help you make your money back easily.

I have been getting 11 dlvd per Rendon

If I could find more, I'd happily buy them.
